Recommendations for comfortable, stylish boots for wide size 8 feet

11 replies

Can anyone recommend super comfy, but stylish boots? I’m looking for ankle boots and knee length too. I have UK size 8 feet, which are also wide so I don’t really like chunky big boots. I’ve not had any boots for a couple of years now, due to not being able to find anything comfortable and have been living off of converse trainers in the wet winter months as that’s all that is comfortable for me 😢I’m so sick of it, I just want some comfy boots. Please help!

I find the Dune wide fit range is good.

I am a size 8 wide fit too and wear Doc Martens 1460s every day apart from if it's very hot!
I also have a pair of wide E fit Clarks Orinoco chelsea boots for going out in. They also do this style in knee high too.

I'm the same size as you and wear Ariat Windermere boots. Very comfortable and still looking smart after being worn for ten months of the year for five years.

I have very wide feet but Im a size 10 and every single wide fit knee length boot I find is made for plus size calves. I dont have plus size calves. Its infuriating.

Ankle boots are much easier. Type your size into google and it will come up with loads. I usually go with Clarkes or Van Dal who do a EE. Hotter have started doing the occasional nice looking boot also. Some are a bit mumsy but they have some good looking boots too.
What are you looking for? Heels? Flats? Colour? Have you got any style examples?

I was going to suggest Hotter too. They do an extra-wide fitting. And they've got a sale on at the moment.

I have the same size feet as you (41 rather than 42). DMs are too narrow for me, as are converses. Try Fly London. Wide and, I like to think, tolerably stylish.

Highly recommend this place as they do a large range of makes and do wide and extra wide. They are very easy to deal with.
